Planted these cosmos seeds a week ago...

Cosmos are so rewarding, Linda, mine are the same!

One of my neighbours gave me a packet of seeds, so I am giving her some plants back when they are bigger.

Lovely idea, a perfect exchange. As a member of a gardening group, I often have spare plants and cuttings to give away. This winter I lost every Pelargonium in my greenhouse, but luckily members who had had plants from me, are now able to give me cuttings back!
